{allcanada} LIONS LB ELIMIMIAN TO PURSUE CFL DEAL IN FREE AGENCY

Solomon Elimimian is an available free agent in the CFL.

Elimimian's agent confirmed to TSN's Dave Naylor that the 26-year-old LB will be looking to sign a CFL deal this week.

It was previously reported that the former CFL All-Star had an agreement with the NFL's Cleveland Browns, and while Elimimian's agent says an opportunity still exists with the Browns, his client has decided instead to pursue a CFL job.

Elimimian spent time with the Minnesota Vikings and Browns last off-season before returning to the Lions midway through the year.

Elimimian lost playing time in BC to Adam Bighill, who proved to be a more than capable replacement, but should find a starting job during the CFL free agency period.
